Firmware Engineer

One of the things that strikes me about Western Digital is how much the organization cares about the happiness of its employees. It’s not just about getting things done, but making sure that we help people go in the direction that they want. I started my career at Western Digital as an intern in Failure Analysis. From the beginning, my managers were supportive of my interests and took steps to introduce me to other teams. Even though I had a background in Electrical Engineering, I got the chance to explore and learn that Firmware was what I wanted to do. I’m now a Senior Firmware Engineer! What I enjoy most about my role is knowing that I develop features that directly affect customers. I feel like I make an impact and I am constantly learning. There is a never-ending list of things to learn at Western Digital, so I promise that you will always feel challenged and involved here!

Andrea Coba

Software Development

Western Digital has been my home for years now. I started off within the company as an intern. In university, I studied how to program but was unfamiliar with web development . I am now a full-stack web developer, and everything that I learned started from the ground up within the company. I am very grateful for the opportunities the company gives for employees to develop their skills and to try new things. My team echoes the same sentiment, we're about 25 people strong and my peers are all self-starters who value in investing in one another's growth. Communication between us is key; we are open to feedback; and for all the years that I've worked here we always make time to hang out beyond the office. We’ve been to the beach together, bowling, and even fun tournaments hosted during the summer. If you're looking for growth, Western Digital is the place for you. To future Western Digital family: don't be afraid of trying something new! I didn’t realize web development would be my thing, but I took a chance. Be open!

SSD Firmware

I lead a highly talented Firmware engineering team at Western Digital; we are currently collaborating with teams across the company to develop Western Digital's first ever NVME Enterprise SSD that is based on our own controller. I have worked at Western Digital and its acquisitions since 2011. My journey has been very rewarding and enriching both technically and personally. What I find most gratifying is that, at Western Digital, we own our flash, controller, architecture, and firmware. Having this ownership offers us a unique opportunity to get exposure to the entire system end-to-end which provides me with exciting challenges and growth opportunities to continuously learn and innovate. I work at the inviting Irvine campus which offers great amenities such as an onsite health clinic, a Market cafe and even a Toastmasters club. I enjoy connecting with colleagues at the various social events sponsored by Western Digital such as the monthly employee appreciation lunch, or monthly birthday cake celebrations. Western Digital is not only establishing itself as a leader in the Storage industry but it is also a great place to work.
